Chamber of Commerce.

There were fair offerings of samples, but
the inquiry was not active, and sellers were
forced to accept lower prices for every thing
except No. hard. Local millers were do
ing very little, and most of the sales were for
outside parties. Receipts amounted to $40
cars, with 1913 shipped out. Some lots of
milling wheat sold fully a cent below the
prices of the day before. Duluth received

Flour-The market was again quiet. and
excepting i'll small amounts transactions
were few. The feeling was easier in sympa-
thy with lower wheat, but owing TO the
small production now there appears to be
very little surplus for current sales after fill
ing orders now due on previous, contracts.
The large movement OF wheat in the country
is pretty well over, aud with smaller offerings
there is much confidence that when the holt
days are past former activity in bread
stuffs will be renewed. Patents, sacks to
